Steph’s Fish and Plants Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Just ordered one myself. Should be in soon. I’m excited to try it with a Crinum bc I killed my last one when I hat to swap tanks a bunch of times. I was gonna plant the Crinum in one of those Groot planters that @JimmyGimbalhad. I got one for Christmas actually 😅 so now I’m not sure what to do with it haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual aquatics Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Just now, Kasper What plants do you NOT recommend we plant in this planter? Thanks. My guess be no bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted November 5, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2020 Bulbs can work well actually. Mostly plants that aren't stem plants are best suited for the planters. This is because stem plants will grow to the top of the tank and need to be cut and replanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Cory or someone with the knowledge, can you advise which plants are stem plants? I’m not up to speed on my plants as of now. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 @Kasper stem plants are plants that grow vertically on a stem and are propagated and maintained through and by cuttings. They usually are fast growing. Plants like ammannia gracilis, bacopa caroliniana, moneywort, and scarlet temple are some stem plants available at Aquarium Co-Op.com. There are many more than that available in the hobby though. I'd imagine that you could grow stem plants in the easy planter, it would just require you to remove the plant pot, trim the plant, remove the old rooted bottom part of the plant from the pot and rock wool, and then replant the top trimming in the wool in the pot and put it back in the planter. Not quite as easy as plop, drop, and let it grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 what happens if you just let them grow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 @quirkylemon103 stem plants? They will break the surface of the water and continue to grow towards the light. They will convert their leaves to an emersed form as they grow and generally any submerged form leaves above the surface will die back. Some plants look completely different above water than below water. This is pogostemon stellatus octopus growing emersed. This is bacopa emersed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
